Holding force determines how securely a latch holds a door or panel closed. Higher forces are ideal for security applications, while lower forces are suitable for ease of use. For example, the CompX Timberline DL200-WHT exceeds a pull force of 150 lbs, making it suitable for secure cabinet doors. In contrast, the Sugatsune ML-120/WHT offers a magnetic pull force of 5.2 lbs for lighter applications. A range of holding forces is available, ensuring you can find the right balance between security and usability.
